My fiancée Yukino

Arriving beside Philen, Luo Bai smiled and ruffled her hair, saying, "You've worked very hard. Take a break now. I bought some food, crepes! Artoria too, you've worked hard too, come and eat with us."

Upon hearing that there was food, Artoria happily put down her books and led Philon to the sofa in the living room.

Looking at the crepe that Luo Bai handed her, and smelling the aroma of cream and chocolate inside, Philen couldn't help but swallow.

Kids can't resist something so sweet.

Taking it, Philon whispered, "Thank you, brother."

Then he opened his mouth and took a bite.

The crepe crust mixed with sweet cream immediately soothed Philon's expression.

Artoria had a similar expression. She usually loved eating desserts and liked all kinds of them.

After taking a big bite and licking the chocolate off her lips, Artoria looked at Luo Bai and asked, "Are Shiyu and Mai coming again today?"

Luo Bai shook his head and said, "No, Shi Yu is going home, and Mai has work to do. She has a scene to film tonight and will be busy until about eight o'clock. Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao won't be coming back for dinner tonight either. They're having dinner with other friends. McQueen's injury treatment has progressed and he's recovering well. He can already come back to school and resume his daily activities."

Megumi McQueen was diagnosed with suspensory ligament inflammation some time ago, which is a very serious condition for a horse girl, but it is nothing to the Guardians' medical team.

After examining McQueen, Butterfly quickly devised a treatment plan, and because it was discovered early, he was expected to recover in three to four months.

This dinner party is also to celebrate McQueen's successful completion of the first phase of treatment and the good progress he has made.

Unfortunately, because of Philon's situation, Luo Bai and the others didn't plan to go over, so the horse girls could only celebrate by themselves.

Half an hour later, Shinobu Kocho returned home from get off work with her younger sisters.

"We're back~~"

As she spoke, Shinobu Kocho also showed everyone the large boxes they were holding.

"A batch of fresh seafood arrived today, let's have a seafood feast tonight! Each king crab is carefully selected and weighs three to four pounds, and there are also various other kinds of seafood!"

Seeing the four large styrofoam boxes stacked in Shinobu's hands, she immediately came over and took them.

After placing it on the ground, Luo Bai opened one of them and sure enough, he saw three still-live king crabs inside. They were quite large and of very good quality.

The other boxes also contained various kinds of seafood, including lobsters, other shellfish, and fish, all of which were either fresh or frozen.

Clap his hands and Luo Bai said with a smile, "Well then, let's have a seafood feast!"

Artoria walked over with Philon and said happily, "This is really good seafood. It's just that Miyu and Oguri Hat can't have it. Well, Utaha and Mai can't either."

It was the first time Philon had ever seen a king crab. He squatted down and curiously poked the king crab's shell before looking up at Luo Bai.

"Is this edible?"

"Of course you can eat it!" Luo Bai picked up a king crab that was still waving its claws and said with a smile, "Don't let its appearance fool you, it tastes pretty good. Philon, just look forward to it!"

The commotion attracted Mordred, who was studying the game upstairs, to come down.

"Wow! What a huge king crab! Let me have a turn with it!"

He tried to take the king crab from Luo Bai's hand, but Luo Bai dodged him.

"Alright, stop making things worse. These are for eating."

Mordred pursed her lips, then ignored it and took little Philon to watch cartoons.

Mordred has recently become quite interested in magical girl anime, finding it rather intriguing, and plans to watch it with little Philon.

Yes, of course, not like Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Although Madoka Magica wouldn't have much of an impact on Mordred, it's still a bit too early for a child like Philon.

Even though some people might be absent from the seafood feast tonight, it doesn't mean the others won't talk about it.

After moving everything into the kitchen, Shinobu took photos with her phone and posted them in the chat group.

After Shiwa and the others sent their regretful replies and talked about what they were busy with, Eriri finally chimed in.

"Wow, what a huge king crab! I want to eat it too!"

Seeing Eriri's comment, Luo Bai replied with a smile.

"Come over if you want to eat, and invite your parents too. There's already quite a lot, plus some other ingredients."

Eriri's subsequent reply proved why she was craving it.

"Stop talking. My dad has a meeting today, and my mom went to wait for him. She said they'll go out for a candlelight dinner after it's over, and I'm supposed to take care of dinner myself. I just left school and am heading to the station!"

Everyone laughed when they saw Eriri's reply.

Yukino smiled and looked at Luo Bai.

"Go and bring Eriri over. Didn't she say she wanted to meet Philon?"

"Okay, then I'll go pick them up. I won't drive or anything, I'll just go straight there."

After asking Eriri's current location, Luo Bai flew directly to Tokyo.

Less than a minute later, Luo Bai landed right next to Eriri, and with the help of a cognitive interference spell, he didn't get noticed by anyone around him.

Seeing Luo Bai arrive beside her, Eriri asked curiously, "How fast are you flying now? You got here in such a short time!"

Looking at the station not far away, Luo Bai said, "I haven't calculated it, and I haven't gone all out, otherwise going too fast wouldn't be good either, I'm afraid I'd lose control and fly too far. Alright, it's time to go, I'll take you back to meet Philon, that kid is very cute!"

Eriri nodded happily, then took out her flying broom from her bracelet.

"It's been a few days since I've flown. Let's go, I want to test how fast I can fly!"

"..."

Seeing Eriri's movements, Luo Bai paused for a moment before saying, "You're still a little too slow. Come here."

Luo Bai quickly gathered up Eriri's broom, and under her surprised gaze, he scooped her up in a princess carry and flew into the sky amidst her gasps.

Volume 1: Chapter 735 Staying Overnight (1/2)

Holding Luo Bai and flying through the sky, Eriri took a while to get used to the high-speed flight before looking at Luo Bai.

With her arms wrapped around Luo Bai's neck, Eriri looked at him with a flushed face and said, "Slow down a bit, we can't see the scenery below!"

Luo Bai then slowed down slightly and said with a smile, "Is this alright?"

"almost."

After a pause, Eriri looked at Luo Bai and asked in a low voice, "Did that woman Kasumigaoka Utaha show you those videos she filmed?"

Luo Bai looked at Eriri in surprise: "Shiyu told you?"

Facing Luo Bai's gaze, Eriri's heart couldn't help but race. She turned her head and said, "I don't know how that guy got the picture, but he even used it to threaten me, making me buy her a drink at noon."

"Um, then..."

Did you invite them?

"I've requested a five-day supply..."

Eriri's honest answer made Luo Bai unable to help but chuckle.

Hearing Luo Bai's soft voice, Eriri quickly said, "Don't overthink it, he's just talking in his sleep!"

"Really?" Luo Bai smiled as he looked at Eriri's feeble excuse. "It's a pity that I was really happy when I saw that video. I really like Eriri."

"Ugh?"

Eriri paused for a moment, then her face turned even redder.

"You, you, you, don't talk nonsense!"

"What's there to say? I do like you quite a bit, but I won't do anything excessive, so don't worry."

"..."

For a moment, Eriri felt a little regretful. Why did she refute so quickly? If they really did something excessive to her, she wouldn't have cared.

After all, Kasumigaoka Utaha had been talking to me every now and then this week about things I only had theoretical knowledge of, making it hard for me not to overthink it.

Eriri finally understood: that guy was doing it on purpose, trying to drag her into it too!

But despite thinking this, Eriri felt a little excited inside, which made her wonder if there was something wrong with her psychology.

However, before Eriri could make any decision, Luo Bai had already taken her back to Chiba.

"Huh? So fast?"

"It's not far to begin with. At my speed, even if I slow down a bit, it won't take much time."

After landing on the ground, Luo Bai put Eriri down and pointed to the renovated villa, saying, "Look, how is it after the renovation? There are so many more rooms now!"

Eriri then noticed that the area between the two villas had been utilized, transforming them into one super-large villa.

"Wow! It's huge! When was it built?"

"After dinner yesterday, I personally researched so much magic, and it has finally come in handy."

After saying that, Luo Bai led Eriri into the villa.

As soon as Eriri entered, she saw Philon sitting in front of the TV, holding a controller in one hand and playing Mario Odyssey intently. Her purple hair made her easy to spot.

"We're back."

Upon hearing Luo Bai's voice, Philon immediately put down the controller and turned to look at Luo Bai.

Luo Bai walked over with Eriri, smiled and patted Filone's head, then introduced her: "This is Eriri-neechan, my brother's friend, she's a manga artist."

Eriri liked Philon's big eyes very much, so she squatted down and smiled, saying, "Hello Philon, I'm Sawamura Spencer Eriri."

"Hello, Eriri-neechan, I'm Philon."

"So cute!"

After giving a compliment, Philon glanced at the TV screen and said, "You're playing this? I can play it too, keep playing!"

Philon nodded and continued playing the game, while Eriri offered a slight hint when Philon really couldn't find a solution.

After playing with Philon for a while, Eriri belatedly realized that she might have forgotten about Luo Bai again.

Eriri immediately felt depressed.

Unfortunately, Luo Bai had already gone to the kitchen, and with so many people in the living room, she couldn't continue.

Dinner was, of course, the promised sumptuous seafood feast. Although the two big eaters, Miyu and Xiaolimao, weren't there, Artoria alone was enough to devour quite a lot.

Using a fork, Philon examined the large crab leg that Luo Bai had peeled for him with curiosity before taking a bite.

"Aww!"

The fresh crab meat spread in her mouth. It was the first time Philon had ever tasted something so fresh, and she immediately took two more bites.

Luo Bai ate one himself, nodded, and looked at Philon: "How was it? Was it delicious?"

Philon nodded vigorously, swallowed the crab meat in his mouth, and said, "Delicious!"

At the same time, I picked up a spoon, scooped out a piece of my own steamed egg with crab roe, and felt like I couldn't stop eating.

Luo Bai smiled, peeled another crab leg for her, then peeled two large shrimp and put them into Philon's bowl.

Sitting next to Rin, Eriri glanced at him and whispered, "That guy really knows how to take care of kids!"

Rin agreed, saying, "That's true, but Philon is a very cute and well-behaved child, and everyone is happy to take care of her. Ah, Ilya! How much have you eaten? Leave some for me!"

"Hahaha, first come, first served! Rin, you're just too slow!"

Eriri glanced at Ilya, who was happily playing around, and then at Philon, and sighed deeply.

Even though Ilya is the same age as everyone else, she looks more like a child.

More than an hour later, while eating and chatting, everyone unconsciously ate until they were stuffed.

Artoria patted her stomach, leaned back comfortably on the sofa, and said, "So satisfying! Seafood is really delicious, so fresh!"

Shinobu Kocho brewed tea for everyone and brought it over, saying with a smile, "It's all freshly delivered. In some sea areas, things like king crabs are so abundant they're practically a plague, but due to transportation and market operations, the price is still a bit high. But that's not a problem for us. Thanks to the teleportation array, these ingredients, unless they're from the deep sea and need to be quickly frozen, can be delivered in their freshest condition as soon as possible. If you like, there will be more next week."

Artoria nodded happily, "Yes, that would be perfect!"

Mordred then pulled Eriri aside and told her to stay there tonight and come to his live stream to play together.

After considering it for a moment, Eriri agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, my parents are going to be home pretty late every night, and it's boring to stay at home, so I might as well stay here.
